Fox News Hosts Attack On Rival Networks Is Mercilessly Mocked As Irony Defined

Bill Hemmer warned competitors to take news out of your name if they didnt cover Donald Trumps speeches, and you know what happened.

Fox News personality Bill Hemmer told rival networks to take news out of your name if they dont carry every spit and cough of Donald Trump s Republican presidential primary victory speeches.

On Tuesday, Hemmer said the conservative network would always take a speech by President Joe Biden (even though they havent previously) and be fair with him.

One of our competitors took four minutes, another took ten, Hemmer said of the Trump coverage.

If thats what youre going to do, take news out of your name because we should all be listening to these ideas and thoughts, he added. And if Biden came out, we would take him and be fair to his message.

Recently, both MSNBC and CNN have either not aired Trumps speeches or have cut into them to offer blistering fact-checks.

CNNs Jake Tapper had conservative attorney George Conway laughing with one such incident last month. And while not a primary speech, Fox News Neil Cavuto last week did interrupt Trumps comments from the U.S. southern border with a clarification.

Fox News last year settled a defamation suit from Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million over baseless claims aired on Fox that the companys voting machines were somehow rigged to stop Trump from reelection in 2020. Trump continues to promote his false claim that the election was stolen from him.

Hemmers claim predictably got the treatment on X, formerly Twitter.
